Question

if 1/2 + 1/x = 2, then x = ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1 }{x} = 2$

⟹ $\dfrac{1}{2} -2 = \dfrac{1 }{x}$

⟹ $\dfrac{1 - 4}{2} = \dfrac{1 }{x}$

⟹ $\dfrac{-3}{2} = \dfrac{1 }{x}$

⟹ -3x = 2

⟹ x = $\dfrac{-2}{3}$

Answer 2

Given:

The given expression is

$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{x} = 2$

To find:

We have to find the value of x.

Solution:

To determine the value of x from the above expression we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The given expression is

$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{x} = 2$

Taking the numbers on the right side and x on the left side we get-

$\frac{1}{x} = 2 - \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{4 - 1}{2} \\ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \\ x = \frac{2}{3}$

Hence the value of x is 2/3.
